Hey all,
I am totally new to rooting and I just rooted my Mytouch 4g to the virtuous fusion 1.1.8 rom. Everything works great except for wifi and wifi calling. My wifi keeps dropping. Ive read that I may have to flash the radio to 2.3 but I do not know how to do this and I cannot find the answer anywhere. I've tried to look around and I've googled it. I still come up with nothing. Please help!
Thanks!!!
Follow this guide. It gives you everything you need to know. For Virtuous Fusion, I would try radio version 26.09.04.26 since that's what the dev recommends. If you need help setting up ADB (very easy, takes 5 mins), see this thread.
Thanks
Thanks, I've done everything needed and it went thru successfully. The wifi still isn't steady. Do you recommending trying all of the radios? I dont mean to sound like a total noob but I am as far as this stuff goes. Thanks!

I believe VF has some WiFi issues, so the problem probably isn't the radio. Several other users have reported issues with VF not holding connection to WiFi even when very close to the router. I find I have to restart my phone once a day just to get WiFi to connect. Other users have been said WiFi works fine on other ROMs while on the same radio. That being said, it can't hurt to try the other new radio (26.08.04.30), although my guess is it won't fix your WiFi problem.

I just successfully rooted my (non-Fender) MyTouch using the howto at the unlockr website. The whole point of it was so I could use a tethering app like Barnacle, but I am finding that my laptop cannot seem to use the connection it provides, even though it sees it and appears to connect.
Further, my phone is now extremely flaky and is unable to fully sync my Google account (contacts are blank and won't sync at all). It often reboots itself for no apparent reason. I am regretting screwing around with it at this point.
Can anyone recommend a ROM to install that is stable and will give me all the functionality I had before I rooted, plus will work well for Barnacle or another good wifi tethering app? And I still don't see exactly where on this site I go to actually download ROMs.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Do you have a 32a or 32b board? do you have your sd card with 3 partitions Fat/ext2-3-4/swap?
What recovery did you flash? newest Amen ra 1.70?
What radio and SPL do you have.
We have to know these in order to choose a rom. But there are many good ones, just sounds liek you found a crappy one or one not made for your phone
Improved things with latest cyanogen ROM
Ok, so after my first post I managed to flash my phone with the latest cyanogen ROM. Now the flakiness has gone away and I have back all the stability of my former phone, plus actually a couple things I like better than before.
Alas, Barnacle still does not work properly. It starts and runs fine right up until my laptop or iPad actually tries to connect with it, then I get the message that "process stopped unexpectedly".
Thanks for your response. I will try to find the right place to post my tethering problem to see if someone can help me with it.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
I am having some major issues with the wifi on my slide. When I have the rooted software installed. I have tried both the stock cynogen 6.0.0 rom and the teamfenix version but still cannot get the wifi to work on my home network. I haven't found any other roms to try though.
fyi:
Works fine on stock rom
home network is open with no mac filtering or anything like that.
I also have heard that flashing the radio might help but I thought that was separate from the wifi and the antenna works fine. I also have no issues with a data connection through the network.
Also if someone could recommend a way of transferring the phone program from the sense rom to the root rom that would be great. (I like the way it gives you the number it thinks you are about to dial, makes calls more fluid actions)
So... ideas?

A few: The latest known radio for the slide is 7.09.35.10. If you have that you don't need to reflash it. CM 6.0 has a known issue with the wifi that you can fix by turning on bluetooth. You don't have to have bluetooth connect to anything, just have it on. I don't know why that works but it does. Or you can flash the latest nightly for the slide. You can find it through ROM Manager, but you'll need the paid version to do that, which is totally worth it, or find it in the cyanogenmod forum. However, if you go ahead and flash the nightly, beware that things may or may not work (although the last several I've run have been damn stable) and DO NOT POST BUGS IN THE BUG TRACKER!
Also, on a side note, bluetooth in call audio does not work. Meaning you can not talk on the phone through bluetooth. Stereo bluetooth works great though, so you can listen to music no problem.

Thanks for the heads-up on that, I just thought my bluetooth was being retarded.

How do I check what radio version I have?

If on CM6: Menu>settings>about phone then look at the baseband version. It's the last set of numbers. If on stock ROM it's the same sequence except after you go into "about phone" you need to go into "software information".

Where can I find the radio update? Can't find it on the HTC website or on here.
edit: actually - it seems to be working fine now for some screwed up reason. My roms seem to do that... if my phone is in a good mood when I do my nandroid restore, then it works even better than before (hey look that rymes). If not, then it says "F*** off and die, I'm not giving you internet you fascist SoB.". As you may understand my phone has major mood swings... I think it gets PMS.
The CM6 thread has a link to the latest radio I believe. Also, something that worked for me is under the WiFi Settings menu, press Menu > Advanced, and change Regulatory Channels to 14. I saw that posted in one of the CM65 threads and it worked for me.
I found something interesting out about my phone. Apparently those moods I talked about are just the wipe not working properly. If I wipe it 3-5 time beforehand everything seems to work better.
I can even get golden sun working on the gameboid which I had thought was too unstable to work (just that one game though not the whole program).

I take that back about golden sun... stupid unstable ass game......

This is a brand new unrooted Mytouch 4G, so I suppose I haven't done anything wrong yet. =P
I tried the wifi connection on this phone, and it usually works great. But I later found out the it's not very stable. I carry this phone with me and walk around the campus, it doesn't always receive wifi signal like my iPad would always do. Also, sometimes even when it shows that I am connected, the internet based software such as skype will not work (making phone call without hearing any voice).
Is there a software/app that can help? Or maybe I should root my phone for a better version of operating system?
On the stock ROM and all Sense ROMs, there is an option under WiFi Settings -> Advanced -> Best WiFi Performance. Try selecting that and see if it makes a difference.

WOO! lol i found someone in the same boat as me...I go college as well and my ipad connects fine, but my laptop and phone (for some weird reason do not). Ive tried a whole variety of differernt rom and kernel combinations including stock, but nothing would work. I really really really wanted to stay stock on my phone because I like it so much, but it just wouldnt work. Then I tried the evil 4g HD rom with fauxs sense smartass kernel and suddenly wifi was working amazing! It connected as soon as I clicked turn on wifi and stayed connected throughout the day even though I was walking around campus. Plus the rom has sense so its not straying too far from stock! I dont know what the reason is, but you should give it a go and see if it works for you!
I finally determine to try your method. I can't find evil 4G HD rom. Did you mean Evo?

So just picked up a MyTouch 4g and so far I love it! Glad I switched from being a Windows Mobile user to a die hard Android now! Anyhow so the first thing I did when I got home was of course root it and found a custom ROM for it. I went and got [ROM][07/04/11] Virtuous Unity Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid [1.27.0] and finally got it flashed after some tinkering. Thank god I used linux before! So the phone seems to work fine, but today I noticed some annoying issues with it. I upgraded the sd card to 16gb from 8gb and had to reloaded a few of my games, no biggie, everything works now. But the WiFi is starting to piss me off. At work the wifi shouldn't be an issue, it is slow, but works. The phone just seems to keep dropping connection for no reason, then says emergency calls only and then picks back up the WiFi, etc. Does this while WiFi calling is enabled, now when I disable that, the WiFi still has issues like it won't keep a good signal. Hell I am sitting beside the router and still the signal goes up and down. I know the wifi works because I am using it thru my laptop to type this atm (using ubuntu 11.04 of course!) I have done some searching thru out the forums and noticed some others complaining about the same issue. I am asking because didn't know if this was ROM related, or maybe needed a different radio like my HTC tilt 2 used when I had it? Any ideas or maybe point me in the general direction?
Hi guys.
I wanted to try a custom ROM on a friend's i9505, so after reading a bit around the forums I updated the phone's modem and bootloader (all ROM threads seemed to recommend this one):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62593102#post62593102
And then tried a few ROMs.
However, they all seem to have the same issue: the WiFi signal is INCREDIBLY WEAK. If I'm not literally 1-2 meters away from the WiFi router it just loses the signal. Where other phones see a full or almost full signal, the s4 doesn't even see the network, or it sees it with just one "bar".
So, discouraged, I flashed back the stock ROM, using the instructions from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
using the "Latest Lollipop" file in that same page. I see from Odin that it indeed flashed everything, including the modem.
But the WiFi signal is still weak! Everything else is perfect, seems pure stock, but that one thing just doesn't work!
How do I get it working again? I'm not even concerned about custom ROMs anymore, I'd just like to have a stock (or anything really) with a working WiFi.
Any ideas??
Could there be a loose connection in the phone?

Anything is possible, but it seems weird that it happened just the moment I flashed a new modem/rom, don't you think?
Yes, it is rather coincidental, but you never know. I recommend checking it just to rule out.
Was the phone purchased brand new from a carrier?
Well, I tried everything, flashed countless different stock packages and modems, disassembled the phone and checked and re checked the antenna, even brought it to a repair guy who couldn't figure it out.
I guess I'll have to take it back to Samsung and pay their extortionist repair fees...
Yes I had also issue on WiFi after flashing ROM.. Most of the time WiFi saved and secured but not connect
